The Phoenix Suns look for a big victory after losing seven of their last 10 games. The Phoenix Suns are averaging 105.6 points on 45.3 percent shooting and allowing 105.2 points on 46.7 percent shooting. Eric Bledsoe is averaging 21.9 points and 6.4 assists while Brandon Knight is averaging 21.4 points and 4.4 rebounds. T.J. Warren is grabbing 3.3 rebounds and Ronnie Price is dishing 1.7 assists.

Markieff Morris and Tyson Chandler are questionable.

The Trail Blazers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 2 days rest and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Friday games. The Suns are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Trail Blazers are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Phoenix and 4-10 ATS in the last 14 meetings overall.

The Portland Trail Blazers are the better team than the Phoenix Suns, a team that plays no defense, is banged up and has had trouble even protecting home court. I think Portland can win this game outright, but I'll gladly take the points.

Portland Trail Blazers +4.5
